B Objectives
1. What is the main purpose for this course?
By the end of this course the students will
1- Have all information about mixtures in chemistry
2- Familiar with separation processand methods of thermal analysis.
3- Able to use many separation tools for separate both organic and in organic mixtures.
2. Briefly describe any plans for developing and improving the course that are being implemented.
